A bright one-bedroom second-floor flat set within a Victorian building, offered with off-street parking and two bathrooms. The principal room is a generous sitting/dining space with large windows that bring in plenty of light, and the fitted kitchen has modern units and integrated appliances. The double bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower; a separate bathroom adds practical convenience for guests or housemates.
Practical costs and building arrangements are important here: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of about £1,956 (which includes central heating) and a ground rent of £340. Heating is provided by a community scheme; double glazing was installed before 2002 and the cavity walls are likely uninsulated, so consider potential improvement costs for energy efficiency.
Location is central to Bournemouth town centre, transport links and beaches, making it suitable for a first-time buyer seeking convenience or an investor targeting rental demand. The neighbourhood has high crime and wider area deprivation indicators, and the building sits in a cosmopolitan, student-oriented area — factors to weigh for long-term comfort or tenant profile.
There are extra buyer-process costs attached to this sale: an exclusivity fee of £2,000 (refundable on completion) and a separate £200 processing fee are required to secure the purchase. These are material requirements and should be confirmed and understood before committing.
